Jing-Tang Keith Jang 09cc04f6fe New port added: ttfm
A True Type Font Manager that handles true type font installation,
uninstallation, list, and default font setting.  It was originally
in the CLE Linux distribution, modified by Cheng Yuan-Chung from
Joerg Pommnitz's ttmkfdir, to have Big5/GB TTF better detection.

There are four modules as of version 0.9.0 for their respective apps:

chitex: For ChiTeX, a Chinese TeX/LaTeX
ttf2pk: Generate pk/tfm for CJK
xfreetype: For Xfsft in XFree86 3.3.x and "freetype" module in 4.x
xttfm: For X-TT in XFree86 3.3.x and "xtt" module in 4.x, available
       in both tcl and sh versions.

Since ChiTeX hasn't been ported yet, CJK needs further tuning, only
xfreetype & xttfm are available right now.  Future applications which
uses TTF(like ghostscript) should use TTFM to manage TTF.  The importing
of this port also implies existing ports like arphicttf/moettf should
be re-written.

/me is always able to find trouble for himself. :-)

A True Type Font Manager that handles true type font
installation, uninstallation, list, and default font
setting. It was originally in the CLE distribution.
The manager doesn't deal with applications using TTF
directly. Instead, it calls modules to handle the
details. There are only several predefined behaviours
of the modules, like add/remove/list. There are four
modules as of version 0.9:
chitex: For ChiTeX, a Chinese TeX/LaTeX
ttf2pk: Generate pk/tfm for CJK
xfreetype: For Xfsft in XFree86 3.3.x and "freetype"
module in 4.x
xttfm: For X-TT in XFree86 3.3.x and "xtt" module in
4.x, avaiable in both tcl and sh versions.
Some modules are Big5/GB enhanced, for better font
detection/generation.
